Please help me come up with a good title for this novel, also tell me your opinion?
These are the basics of the book I am going to write.
I was thinking "The Last Star" for the title, but it turns out that is the title of a cd with songs from the 80's.
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).
I know that the title is good for the story, but it is copyrighted. Please help me with another title.
I came up with the name without first knowing about the song.
I should probably go into more detail about why the stars are important. Around the last start in the cluster, the remains of the races of the cluster build a huge space station. The scientists knew that they only had a certain amount of time left before they had to migrate, so they built it close to the star so they could gather energy for propultion experiments. Problem is, the scientists thought they had a few thousand years left before they had to move. When the star went nova prematurly, they had to get to another star so they could get more energy.
Also, the rioting is a mistake on my part. I thought about it, and I decided that instead of rioting, the civilians would be in a state of shock. Ships would drop out of the fleet due to morale and attrition.
