Summary "The Marines Have Landed" by Giles Bishop is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Dick Comstock, a young man determined to join the United States Marine Corps after facing disappointments regarding his dreams of attending a military academy. The narrative captures his journey as he confronts bullies, navigates family dynamics, and ultimately decides to enlist, revealing a world of camaraderie and adventure within the Marines. At the start of the book, readers meet Dick Comstock, who arrives home with a black eye after defending a cat from a cruel classmate. His sister Ursula expresses concern over his condition, especially with an important graduation oration approaching. Soon after, Dick learns that his dream of attending the Naval Academy has been thwarted, leading to feelings of deep disappointment, particularly when he finds out a friend has secured the position instead. Driven by determination and a spirit of independence, Dick makes plans to enlist in the Marine Corps, setting the stage for his upcoming adventures and the trials he will face in pursuit of his new path.
