Uller Uprising is the foundation of Piper's Terro-Human Future History and the first book where we encounter the Terran Federation. The ranting's of a prophet and an street riot are seen as incidental and inconsequential. They are however, harbingers of ill. Conflict between a human overlord and alien servants erupts when poison lands in the governor-general's whiskey. Overnight, war is everywhere. Henry Beam Piper was an American science fiction author best known for his extensive Terro-Human Future History series of stories and a shorter series of Paratime alternate history tales.
