Is this a good idea for a book?

It is some billions of years in the future. Earth is gone, and the human race is only a few million people. Most stars in our portion of the galaxy have burned out. As a result, the remains of the humans and several alien species have started a project to try to get to a place with stars and planets. A few years later, the last of the stars in the immediate vicinity burn out, and it is a 5000 year journey to another cluster. The species start their journey, but rioting breaks out in the civilian population. One by one, ships drop out of the fleet. Eventually the fleet consists of 15 ships, with a total of 5 million life forms. The leaders know that their chances are slim, but it is their only hope.

(If this resembles any other work, it is by coincidence. Please tell me if that happens).

    Sounds a bit like a book I once read. Predator's Gold by Phillip Reeve. It also took place in a post-apocalyptic world. Anyway, in the book, entire cities basically became moving vehicles. Some were bigger and stronger and some were weak. The big city was trying to find America or something - where the grass is still green.

    Check it out.

    BUT this idea is actually pretty genius. I like it and if you ever do write a book about it, I'd read it.

    I would read it!

    I think you should make it out of our galaxy if its so far into the future and make up planets, that would be awesome. I also think you should have three main characters, so you can change each chapter to their view of what is happening and make them come together towards the middle end.

    I think if you really like it then just try to do it who knows millions may read but you will never know until you try i say go for it!

    It sounds like a cool concept but I know the story will super suck.
