Alecto the Ninth is listed in all books published so far, and according to the author, the Locked Tomb was indeed intended to be a trilogy from the beginning. Now, if you haven’t been keeping up with news of the series since you put down Harrow, you might be wondering-wasn’t the third book in the trilogy going to be Alecto the Ninth? And you wouldn’t be wrong. But after collectively turning our minds into pretzels trying to figure out what exactly was happening there, we finally have part three of the Locked Tomb series in Nona the Ninth.

![]() ![]() In the first place, obviously, Cho’s intentions are a lot different than Marston’s were. So, Frank Cho’s butt shot is the true essence of Wonder Woman, while Greg Rucka has betrayed her creator? Well, not exactly. For Marston, erotic play with the lasso replaced violence, just as peaceful rule by female love leaders would eventually replace violent male patriarchy. It symbolized woman’s erotic power … and allowed for lots of kinky bondage imagery, of course. Wonder Woman’s lasso – an obvious and quite conscious yonic symbol – was originally a lasso, not of truth, but of control. Marston saw Wonder Woman as a prototype of female “love leaders” who, through erotic oomph, could institute a peaceful matriarchal utopia. Men, he believed, exercised power through violent subjugation women exercised power through erotically tinged persuasion. He believed that women were superior to men. ![]() Marston was a psychologist with very particular, idiosyncratic views on sexuality. In his eyes, kink was the pathway to a utopian pacifist matriarchy.
