Noel Davern - Tasmanian Sci-fi Author
Noel Davern
After spending most of my life in various locations in Queensland, I moved to Tasmania upon retirement, where I continue to enjoy bushwalking, fishing, and the beauty of the outdoors.
I received my education at the Heatley State High School, the Townsville Technical College—where I completed studies associated with my apprenticeship as an electrician—and the University of Queensland, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry.
Following a lifetime of work in a variety of occupations, I now spend my evenings by the fire, dreaming up new storylines. My first book, Ambivalence, was self-published and marks the beginning of my writing journey. My favourite quote is by Abraham Lincoln: ‘If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.’

We have danced with war for centuries, but now, armed with nuclear weapons, we stand at the precipice. This isn’t just another chapter in our violent history, in our relentless urge to conquer: to dominate. Will we step back, or at least draw breath? What purpose do these apocalyptic tools serve if we hesitate to wield them? It’s a twisted logic—a paradox that gnaws at our collective conscience.
As architects of our own demise, we sculpt our fate with hubris and fear. And the planet—our fragile home—bears the scars of our ambition. But do we care? It seems not.
Yet, amidst the chaos, a lone figure emerges—a guardian of balance. Sent by those who possess the ways and the means to halt our wantonness. Their motives remain shrouded, but their resolve is unwavering.
While the clock ticks, the guardian grapples with our existence. Can the Earth endure our presence, or would it thrive without us? The choice rests with us—the architects-turned-reformers. We must rewrite our narrative; redefine our purpose.
It’s now or never.
