Synopsis
The Marines Have Landed by Giles Bishop. This juvenile military adventure follows Richard Comstock, a hopeful young New Englander who loses a hoped-for Annapolis appointment but resolves to pursue a career with the United States Marine Corps. After his father discloses financial strain at home, Dick chooses to enlist as a Marine musician and quickly rises through a series of experiences that test courage, loyalty, and resourcefulness. Trained at the Marine Barracks and formed into tight-knit friendships with fellow cadets, including Henry Cabell, Dick serves aboard ships in the Caribbean, earns his first medals, and learns the Corps’ motto Semper Fidelis. The plot intertwines naval education with daring escapades: saving shipmates, thwarting espionage plots involving German and English agents, and performing acts of heroism such as rescuing a governess and a kidnapped child, Soledad, during revolts in San Domingo and Nicaragua. The narrative presents a vivid portrait of the U.S. Marines in moments of peace and crisis, emphasizing duty, teamwork, and the spirit of service.
