Summary
This novella was originally published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, and takes place in the same universe (although not with the same characters or plotline) as the author's Company novels. Since being fired from the British Arean Company, xenobotanist Mary Griffith has made the best of the primitive living conditions on the planet Mars. She runs the tavern known as the Empress of Mars, and ably deals with whoever and whatever comes, be it lawyers, missionaries, miners in search of red Martian diamonds, or the biggest sandstorm anyone's ever seen. THE EMPRESS OF MARS won the 2004 Sturgeon Award.

Ammonite
by Nicola Griffith
Change or die: the only options available on the Durallium Company-owned planet GP. The planet's deadly virus had killed most of the original colonists -- and changed the rest irrevocably. Centuries after the colony had lost touch with the rest of humanity, the Company returned to exploit GP, and its forces found themselves fighting for their lives. Afraid of spreading the virus, the Company had left its remaining employees in place, afraid and isolated from the natives. Then anthropologist Marghe Taishan arrived on GP, sent to test a new vaccine against the virus. As she risked death to uncover the natives' biological secret, she found that she, too, was changing, and realized that not only had she found a home on GP -- she herself carried the seeds of its destruction . . .
