Loosely based on 'Down and out in Paris and London' by George Orwell, part two of 'Voyager' takes us back to the first decade of the new century when not-so-young, not-so-naive, far less gullible and realistic pragmatist, but forever secret palindromist ,Johnny Regayov, with some education and hard life experience under his belt, quits his northern home town once again and and heads south, this time for Paris, hungry for a more fulfilling life denied to him in London. There, though he claws back some dignity in teaching, it seems trouble is forever at his heels as he does battle with both the ghosts of his past and the challenges of the present day. Aided and abetted by the ghost of his dead friend Malcolm and living friend and street hustler Claude, he still finds himself skating, sliding, slipping and sometimes breaking the ice and falling but this time he plays his cards close to his chest when he meets free-spirited American Helen Van Dyke and plays a mean hand when they both throw in their lot with Paris and take to the road . . .
