A widely popular series penned by author Judith Berens is known as The Daniel Codex series. It contains a total of four novels released between 2018 and 2019. Every book of this series features the lead protagonist in the role of a CIA agent named Daniel Winters. He fights to ensure the safety of two worlds. Most people know Daniel Winters as the charming seller of oddities in the shop that his grandfather left for him. But, he lives dual lives and performs the duties of an undercover agent for the CIA. Daniel Winters takes up missions to keep the worlds safe from humans and aliens. In one of the relatively simple missions, a small mistake results in Daniel Winters getting plunged into a new and dangerous world, where he does not find anyone trustworthy.

Daniel continues to live lies within lies and undertake missions to eliminate threats and keep both the worlds safe. However, he understands the limitations of being a human and often gets pushed to his extremities while fighting against foreign entities. The series appears to be a mixture of Harry Dresden and James Bond stories and contains action-packed sequences that keep the readers guessing from start to end. Berens has set this series in the Oricerans universe originally created by Martha Carr.

An exciting book of this series is entitled ‘Artifact of the Sky Gods’. It was released by the LMBPN Publishing in 2018. This book opens by showing that Daniel Winters is a CIA operative, who takes interest in investigating about paranormal activities. But, he does not have any idea about who he should trust and who he should not trust. In his next mission, Daniel Winters gets involved in an alien cover-up that involves many loose ends. As a result, he is taken for an unexpected ride. At an initial glance, Daniel Winters appears to be an ordinary shopkeeper with James Bond-like charm and a glint in an eye. But in reality, he is an agent who investigates the activities of aliens. When he is presented with a difficult mission that involves a cover-up going out of hand, Daniel Winters makes a new enemy. His efforts in turning the mission into a success land him in the trap of a dangerous enemy, who knows a lot and is ready to do anything to make his plans succeed.

When Daniel learns that the enemy gets every information about his plans beforehand, he suspects that there is someone in the agency who is leaking important information to him. After finding solid proof to prove his point, Daniel Winters sets out to reveal the name of the traitor. However, he doesn’t realize that this action of his is going to hit very close to his home. This is yet another action-packed, urban fantasy adventure containing a hero that people find worth to root for. The readers felt gasping until the final page and gave excellent reviews about every element of the novel. Once again, Daniel Winters is depicted as a complex character, who juggles between his multiple identities. Many other secrets about the life of Daniel come to light in this book.

Initially, it is mentioned that Daniel Winters, who lives the double life of a shopkeeper and a CIA Agent, goes through a bad day. The bad day turns into a bad week and brings more downs than ups. After being summoned by the Internal Affairs, he goes through rigorous questioning and is cleared hesitatingly, as no concrete evidence is found to accuse him of anything. Shortly after, Daniel Winters is tasked with a new mission and is asked to visit Paraguay in that regard. He sees this mission as one more chance at finding answers to the numerous questions buzzing in his head. All his efforts go in vain as Daniel Winters ends up finding more questions than answers.
