It looks like a re-release for the author's next book in series.

Amazon's description:

Everyone knows how things work, the natural order of the world, right and wrong, good and evil, work hard play hard - everybody knows how that stuff works, don’t they?
Kenneth Robinson thought he knew all about those things too. He’d been around the block a couple of times, learned a few things and picked up the odd scrape here, the odd knock there. Using all of those hard-won life experiences, and with a lot of hard work, he has managed to start himself a nice little business down in the hell-hole that is Kandahar airfield. Life is looking rosy and it’s all going to plan.
That was until the storm arrived.
Before long, Ken is going to change his mind, he’s going to have to as the only other choice is insanity and Ken has never really been into wearing white jackets, especially if they don’t have any arms. He is shown a version of reality, an awful mind-tearing truth.
The journey of discovery takes him into the past, into the future, and into places he could never have imagined – from the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan, to far away places and unimaginable realities, Ken only has to do three things.
Never give up, never stop believing, and above all – try not to go crazy.

Smashwords also has Parallel II - The Gift for free

Mr Peters is a child murdering sicko, the dirt from the grave of his latest victim is still wet under his fingernails and already he’s thinking about his next victim. He’s not the only one out there who causes pain and misery. It happens every day; actions like his can change the future for all of us.
However, some people are just not meant to die young.
The time has come for all of this to stop, other people are getting involved and they have a little gift for the likes of Mr Peters.
It’s going to take someone very special to deliver this particular gift.
George has just the people in mind, people who don’t mind seeing a bit of blood flowing.
Ken and Mike find themselves drawn into a situation where they are going to need every ounce of their Special Forces experience.
The last time they worked with George, it was pretty tough. This time it’s not only the two men who are going to face a terrible test. Some of those nearest and dearest to them are going to have to make a few sacrifices of their own – it’s time for them to lay everything on the line. There are going to be times during this journey of violence and discovery, of love and sacrifice, when it seems as though they are never going to stop giving.
