Description	Cosmic Engineers is a science fiction novel by author Clifford D. Simak. It was published in 1950 by Gnome Press in an edition of 6,000 copies, of which 1,000 were bound in paperback for an armed forces edition. The novel was originally serialized in the magazine Astounding in 1939. Reviewer Groff Conklin found the 1950 text "has an old-fashioned and somewhat frenetic ring to it which, nevertheless, is rather pleasant." "Galaxy's 5 Star Shelf", Galaxy Science Fiction, February 1951, p.101. Damon Knight, however, panned the same edition as "a pot-boiler [which] should have been left interred" and noted that the 70th-century's inhabitants "talk, think, and act exactly like middle-class, middle-intellect 1930s Americans.""The Dissecting Table", Worlds Beyond, January 1951, p.103 P. Schuyler Miller reported the novel was "good fun, but nothing to weight you down with ideas.""Book Reviews", Astounding Science Fiction, June 1951, p.132
