This is a partial plot of a 1960s Ace Double story with an unknown title and author.
An electrical engineer is hiking in the mountains when he is suddenly transported to another planet. The planet is (or seems to be) completely deserted, but contains the remnants of an amazingly advanced civilization which somehow vanished. Most of the technology is still functioning. Then the engineer finds that he is not alone after all as he encounters an alien being who has been there longer and has more information, but who was also transported there from another planet. Meanwhile, the engineer occasionally thinks he hears voices, speaking in English, somewhere in the distance, but can never find the source.
The task of the engineer is to figure out how he got there and how to get back to Earth.
