John Murzycki

John Murzycki (CGS’73, CAS’75, COM’78) of Wrentham, Mass., published his first novel, Elthea’s Realm (CreateSpace, 2017). “It’s a blend of science fiction, fantasy, and technology thriller,” he writes. “The story fictionalizes the capstone course in CGS during my time, which was called ‘The Utopia Project.’ The plot follows five friends who have drifted apart after graduating from college seven years earlier. Now someone is after them because of that course. The setting begins in Boston but quickly shifts to the fictional world of Elthea’s Realm. It depicts how ordinary people, just like you or me, react when not only they are threatened, but the Earth is endangered.” Visit www.johnmurzycki.com for more information.
