Review - Siege Weapons by Harry F. Rey
My rating: 
Ales is the lone survivor of a planet that was destroyed by another empire because they wouldn’t submit to being enslaved by it. He now makes his living on the outer verge of the galaxy, shipping questionable cargo to unsavory places. It’s a solitary and risky life, full of long stretches of loneliness punctuated by brief hookups whenever he manages to find another human male who shares his tastes. When his boss gives Ales a job delivering “medical supplies” to the besieged planet Jansen, he knows it isn’t going to be a milk run, but he has no idea how dangerous it will really get.
