Riley is writing a Vietnam War tale, "The Tunnel Rats—Into the Shadows of the abyss" A  nonfiction adventure of an elite unit of American mavericks -- led by multiple war-medal earner, Sgt. Thomas E Wergen -- who would blindly descend into the dank darkness to meander, creep, seek out and encounter the enemy where even the most courageous were unwilling to venture --- the dreaded and combat-terrifying jungle tunnels built by the North Vietnamese forces. Wergen's group was officially acknowledged "Tunnel Rats" as their record of harrowing feats gradually emerged, especially  with the destruction of the major Saigon enemy tunnel, AKRON III during the 1968 TET Offensive.
