What would the void between galaxies look like?

I am a writer and have an interesting idea for a story I would like to pursue.  However, I found myself asking a question while developing the idea farther.  In the story a man finds himself lost in the void of space while traveling from one galaxy to another.  My question is simple; what would the man see?  Would the void be full of pin pricks of light much like the night sky of earth, or would the galaxies be too far apart for the light to reach him, leaving the void utterly without light? This void is the primary setting for the story, so I would like to present it as accurately as possible.  Thanks for the help.

It would indeed be utterly blackness for the most part, but you'll be able to make out a few smears of light from nearby galaxies (if they're within a few million light years). On a dark night on earth, you can make out the smudge of the Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million light years away with the naked eye.
