Jurassic Park Seventh Iteration Summary

How It All Goes Down

Chapter 52: Destroying the World

  • Hammond is relieved that the raptors didn't get out and destroy the world. Malcolm mocks him for thinking he has that kind of power.

Chapter 53: Under Control

  • Of the twenty-four people on the island, eight are confirmed dead, and six are missing.
  • The animals on the island are mixing. There are fewer of them now.
  • Gennaro wants the island destroyed from above.
  • Grant agrees, but he tells Gennaro that they have to account for all the animals first. They need to visit the nests to assess the extent of the mess.
  • Lex has named the baby raptor Clarence.
  • Grant explains to Muldoon that the dinosaurs with amphibian DNA could switch their sex. They put a collar on the baby raptor.
  • Muldoon drives them to the volcanic fields, where Grant believes a nest is located. They let the baby raptor go. It disappears near a rock. They follow.
  • Grant descends into the hole.

Chapter 54: Almost Paradigm

  • Malcolm has slipped into a coma.
  • Hammond asks Harding if it's safe to go out. Harding says this area should be, so Hammond goes for a stroll.
  • Hammond decides he just didn't have the right people to make the park work. He'll do better next time, he thinks.
  • Hammond hears the T. rex nearby, panics, and falls, breaking his ankle. Turns out it's just the kids playing with features in the control room.
  • Hammond shouts for help.
  • Malcolm is delirious.

Chapter 55: Descent

  • Gennaro really doesn't want to follow Sattler into the hole. Muldoon threatens him, so he proceeds, then falls in.
  • Gennaro sees dozens of eyes around him. They're in a man-made cave of sorts. They count the raptors and notice peculiar behavior patterns.

Chapter 56: Hammond

  • Hammond tries to climb the hill, but he can't make it.
  • The compys get him.
  • What a way to go.

Chapter 57: The Beach

  • Grant and friends chase after the raptors.
  • The animals line up, watching the ocean.
  • Grant realizes that they want to migrate.

Chapter 58: Approaching Dark

  • Grant and Sattler admire the raptors.
  • Helicopters approach and land.
  • An office asks Grant if he's in charge.
  • Um, no one is in charge.
  • Muldoon tells Grant that Harding and the workmen have already taken off. Hammond is dead. So is Malcolm.
  • Explosions hit the island. It's being destroyed.
