Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, Volume 2: Prisoner of Bogan — John Ostrander

In the era before the Old Republic and the discovery of hyperspace travel, the Je'daii - the progenitors of the Jedi Order - were the protectors and peacekeepers of the Tython system. When Xesh, a mysterious warrior from outside the system, becomes enthralled with the mad Je'daii Daegen Lok and his obsession with conquering known space, hunter teams are dispatched by the Je'daii to stop Lok and save the misguided Xesh. But they're not alone: Xesh's former masters, cannibal aliens steeped in the knowledge of the dark side, have sent their own hunter - with orders to kill!
