Welcome to the Official Website of the
BOUT the Unger Brothers :
Andrew Scott Unger, b. 1982 in St. Catharines, Ontario, and Matthew James Unger, b. 1984 in Hillsboro, Kansas, are academics, historians, anthropologists, political theorists, artists, and authors who together wrote Codex Adma, a comprehensive record of the traditions, cultures, heroes, and histories of a fictional world called Atmos.
​
​
Andrew S. and Matthew J. Unger are graduates of Tabor College, where they studied history, religion, and political science under the tutelage of Dr. Richard Kyle. Through the course of these studies the two traveled extensively throughout Western Europe and Southeast Asia, visiting numerous historical and religious landmarks, and such cultures as the remote Dayak tribe in the forested mountains of Sarawak, with whom they lodged for a time.
​
Andrew later studied literature and Czech History at Charles University in Prague, and was mentored there by the late great Professor Jan Wiener, Jewish hero of World War II, renowned bomber of the RAF, scholar, and civic reformer, from whose vast experience and charismatic storytelling Andrew gleaned a great deal.
While Matthew, in his continued research of Pre-Incan civilization, has, in recent years, set about on various expeditions through central Peru with wife Erika Samame, a native of Lima, with whom he has one daughter, Ella Naomi.
​
In 2011, Andrew and Matthew reunited in Chicago, where they began to research Biblical archeology and the cultures and kingdoms of the Ancient Near East, through which they found the inspiration to begin developing their series, Codex Adma.
​
Both brothers now live and write near Greenville, South Carolina.
ANDREW SCOTT UNGER
MATTHEW JAMES UNGER
The Unger brothers, who are four in all: David, Michael, Andrew, and Matthew, were born to Eddie D. and Sylvia Unger (née Kroeker), both Canadians of Dutch Mennonite ancestry. In the spring of 1983 the Unger family emigrated to the small farm community of Hillsboro, in central Kansas, where the brothers spent their formative years. As they grew, they developed their imaginations through long hours collaborative storytelling, devising ongoing tales set in an intricate world based largely on their quiet, rural neighborhood. The brothers continued to develop a curiosity for folklore though their youth and into adulthood.
