The Transall Saga is a 1998 post-apocalyptic survival novel by American author Gary Paulsen. It is a survival story like most of his other books but also involves the science fiction genre.
While hiking through the Magruder Missile Range (desert), thirteen-year old Mark Harrison is brought to a post Apocalyptic Earth hundreds if not thousands of years in the future. Where he must survive unfamiliar terrain and contend with a regressed people. Mark faces challenges from evolved planet life and animals alike.
The Transall Saga was generally well received by critics, including starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly.
In a more critical review, Kirkus Reviews noted that the "language is plain, action-oriented, and always driven toward cliff-hanging chapter endings", though the novel uses "some powerful if old-fashioned archetypes" and "there is little in the way of character development".
The Young Adult Library Services Association included The Transall Saga on their 1999 list of Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.
