The novel “Transgalactic” by James Gunn was published for the first time in 2016. It’s the second book in the Transcendental trilogy and follows “Transcendental”.

When Riley awakens in the Transcendental Machine, he discovers that he is on a planet inhabited by creatures similar to carnivorous dinosaurs. A sentient species also inhabits it, but what interests Riley most is that the Machine builders left a still-functioning starship. Together with one of the natives, he sets out in search of Asha.

When Asha awakens in the Transcendental Machine, she discovers that she is on a planet inhabited by a humanoid species who treats her as a kind of deity. She’s only interested in leaving the planet, and luckily for her, it’s not isolated but there’s a Dorian embassy. Asha convinces the local ambassador to lend her a starship and she, along with one of the natives, sets out in search of Riley.
