'''The Last Voyage''' by [[Dan Abnett]] is an announced entry in [[BBC Audio]]'s ongoing line of exclusive-to-audio [[BBC New Series Adventures]]. Little information has been released as yet, except for a release date (7th January 2010) and an ISBN number. Given its previous release date of summer of 2010 it was assumed that it would be an [[Eleventh Doctor]] story and was there for thought to be the first [[Eleventh Doctor]] story title to be announced. But now its been revealed that it is to be the last [[Tenth Doctor]] audio adventure.
Originally promoted as being the final exclusive-to-audio Tenth Doctor adventure — as, for example, in [[DWM 417]] — it was in fact followed by Tennant's true finalé, [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dead Air (audio story)|Dead Air]]'', in March 2010.
