The Heidemij Legend

For decades the Heidemij have been a myth or better yet a conspiracy theory. There is no doubt that throughout the last 100 years, engineers have played a vital role in global security for good and bad. However there are reports that governments have employed engineering and architecture firms to help wage clandestine wars on their enemies for decades.

During World War II a small band of engineers went underground and became a key component of the Occupation Resistance movements in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. British Intelligence called them Code Name:Heidemij. This small group of engineers remained organized after the war under the cover of the company that is now Arcadis. They existed in the shadows for 70 years until geopolitical instability forced their hand. They are back.

This is the story of the Heimedij Uprising

Meet The Resistance

The Heidemij Uprising Series is a high-stakes thriller saga where buried history collides with modern warfare.

Daniel Brewster

Ex Navy Pilot & Current Civil Engineer

When Commander Daniel Brewster’s career as a U.S. Navy pilot ends in a flash of blackout and flame, he thinks his mission-driven life is over. His degree in civil engineering draws him a covert offer from global engineering giant Arcadis and into a hidden war — one fought not with missiles, but with blueprints, sabotage, and buried history. Haunted by the classified disgrace of his great-grandfather, a Dutch resistance fighter erased from the record books, Daniel follows a trail of encrypted clues, hidden bunkers, and suppressed intel. Smart, skilled, and increasingly out of time, Daniel must navigate a maze of trust and betrayal — and decide if he’s willing to sacrifice everything to stop an attack that no one saw coming.

Catherine TBD

Strategist in the shadows.

Catherine plays by her own rules — and rewrites the rest. An MIT Ph.D. Mechanical Engineer and Failure Analyst turned hidden field operative for the CIA, Catherine is sharp, skeptical, and used to knowing more than she says. But when she uncovers fragments of a conspiracy buried beneath the world’s digital backbone, she realizes the game is bigger than anyone thought. Partnered with Daniel Brewster, Catherine becomes the nerve center of their mission, Her expertise in critical thinking and deception makes her invaluable. In the war between reality and deception, Catherine is no-nonsense and to the point. She doesn’t flinch from the truth. She hunts it.

Wilhelm Meijer

Engineer. Resistance fighter. Ghost in the records.

In 1944, Wilhelm Meijer was a young Dutch engineer armed with a pencil, a blueprint, and the courage to defy the Nazi war machine. Alongside Jan, his closest ally in the resistance, he risked everything to warn the British of a German trap at Arnhem. But when their warnings were ignored — and Jan was murdered — Wilhelm became a convenient scapegoat. Branded a traitor and silenced before he could testify, Wilhelm's story was buried by those who needed the war to end cleanly. But decades later, his great-grandson unearths the truth: Wilhelm didn’t fail — he was betrayed. Wilhelm fought to protect his country with nothing but knowledge, conviction, and steel-nerved resolve. Now, his legacy might be the only thing that can stop history from repeating.

The Heidemij

Founded in silence. Engineers of Resistance.

Born beneath the ruins of occupied Europe, The Heidemij began as an underground network of Dutch engineers and saboteurs during World War II. While armies fought in the open, the Heidemij fought from the shadows — rerouting supplies, collapsing bridges, and providing intel on critical infrastructure in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. After the war, the world moved on. But the Heidemij didn’t disband — it evolved. Hidden within global engineering giant Arcadis, it became a silent sentry against sabotage, disinformation, and engineered collapse. Today the ten Heidemij agents are engineers, analysts, and planners embedded in Arcadis worldwide. Their methods are quiet. Their impact is not. And when a legacy of betrayal resurfaces in the form of a modern threat, the Heidemij must rise again — or watch everything they built fall.
