Otherland: Mountain of Black Glass

"There is a place, a black mountain that reaches to the sky - that covers up the stars. You must find it. That is where all your answers are." She brought that message to Paul Jonas in a dream. He knew her so well - her oddly beautiful winged form, her sad eyes - but although the woman who described herself as a "shattered mirror" was achingly familiar, Paul's memories of who she was and what she meant to him had been removed.... Yet her cryptic messages were his only hope to survive the incredibly complex virtual reality network known as Otherland.
