Fight We Shall

When pirates rule the Mediterranean, only firepower and strategy can protect American lives.

In 1801, U.S. merchant ships are under siege. The Barbary Pirates—based in Algiers, Béjaïa, Tripoli, and Tunis—are capturing American vessels, ransoming crews, and selling the rest into slavery. With the U.S. Navy focused on Tripoli, other pirate strongholds thrive unchecked.

Enter Naval Escort Services (N.E.S.), a coalition of merchant ship owners, including Fonseca-Laredo Shipping. With armed ships and former Navy officers Jaco Jacinto and Darren Smythe at the helm, N.E.S. becomes a critical line of defense in the Western Mediterranean.

As Hamad Halimi, a brutal pirate lord, escalates the violence, Jacinto and Smythe must protect American commerce, fight under evolving rules of engagement, and strike at the heart of Halimi's power—or die trying.

Based on real-world history and brimming with tactical action, Fight We Shall is a gripping tale of naval warfare, personal sacrifice, and leadership in the face of chaos.
