Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi - Force Storm Series by John Ostrander, Jan Duursema

At the heart of a galaxy far, far away lies the Tython system, home of the Je’daii for thousands of years. Now a stranger has come and the balance of the Force has been disrupted. Three young students feel the disturbance in the Force and are called to this new, shadowy presence. It is the calm before the storm that will engulf their planet and change the galaxy forever!

Here begins the tale of the dawn of the Jedi, the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago--before lightsabers, before hyperspace travel, before the Jedi spread throughout the galaxy, when connections to the Force were new. On the planet Tython, a group of beings--scientists, philosophers, and warriors--strive to maintain peace and to balance the mystifying power known as the Force. But a stranger is coming, one who will disrupt the balance with his arrival and his own connection to the Force... moreHere begins the tale of the dawn of the Jedi, the Star Wars of 25,000 years ago--before lightsabers, before hyperspace travel, before the Jedi spread throughout the galaxy, when connections to the Force were new.
