"To Each His Star" by Bryce Walton
'"Nothing around those other suns but ashes and dried blood," old Dunbar told the space-wrecked, desperate men. "Only one way to go, where we can float down through the clouds to Paradise. That's straight ahead to the sun with the red rim around it."

The Man Who Staked the Stars by Katherine MacLean and Charles Dye
