Narrative:

I was taxiing the beech jet from the east FBO to the west side of the field. I taxied to the intersection of taxiway golf and foxtrot; held short and made my initial call to ground for taxi clearance. I stayed on ground frequency and maintained radio communication contact for the duration of event and trip. The ground controller told me to standby; which I complied. Then the taxi clearance was issued as follows: ground: 'cross runway 36 at foxtrot; join alpha and proceed to the departure end of 24 and hold short of runway 24'. Me: 'roger; cleared to cross runway 36 at fox; join alpha and proceed to departure end of 24 and hold short'. I applied power and taxied onto taxiway golf at intersection foxtrot. As I entered the taxiway; I made a confirmation call to ground. Me: 'ground; I want to verify cleared to cross 36 and proceed to alpha'. Ground: 'roger; cross runway 36 at foxtrot; join alpha; proceed to and hold short of the departure end of 24'. Me: 'roger; crossing runway 36 and proceeding...'as I crossed the hold short line of runway 36 at fox; I looked to the left; down taxiway golf and down runway 36; then redirected my view and attention forward of the aircraft as I proceeded. Then the following took place. Ground: 'beech jet hold short!!!' as the words were coming through my headset; I looked to the right and saw a cessna 210 on takeoff roll coming towards me on runway 18. I immediately applied heavy brakes and cut power; bringing the beech jet to an abrupt stop; however; the nose of the beech jet was over the runway edge line as it stopped. I observed the cessna applying maximum brakes (much smoke coming from both main tires) and rolling to a stop directly in front of me; his wingtip was approximately 50 ft off my nose. As the cessna slowed down in front of me; ground: beech jet you can do a one eighty right there...' me: 'roger...' I applied some power and began a right turn. As this was going on; the cessna applied power and continued its take off roll. Ground: never mind; proceed across 36 and join alpha...'me: 'roger; crossing 36 to join alpha'. The rest of the communication between ground (121.7) and I were pertinent to the safe transition of the aircraft between the two FBO's. There was no conflict; aggression; or otherwise verbal recognition between myself and the controllers concerning the event that had just taken place. No attempts for contact via phone were made either. I am not sure what the communication was between the cessna and the tower controllers. The only error that I personally noticed on my part was that I did not do a full visual check of the runway before crossing. I only looked in the supposed direction that aircraft would be coming from on; both the runway; taxiway; and of course; in front of the aircraft; but not the opposite direction.

Title: BE400 Maintenance Technician reports critical conflict with C210 departing Runway 18 after being cleared by Ground Control to cross Runway 36 at Taxiway F. Both aircraft are able to stop prior to the intersection and the cause of the conflict was never discussed.
