I don’t remember the name of the novel, so somebody help me with this. The concept is basically that scientists invent time travel, but use it as a teleportation device instead. Set the machine by a few seconds, you teleport the distance covered by the Earth during that time. They even use the technique to plan for an assasination of Kim Jong Un. Loved that one. Some innovative sequences using the ‘time machine’.
Edit: Found it. It's actually two books (original and sequel).
Split Second - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26216031-split-second
and
Time Frame - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37946554-time-frame
The first book takes its time revealing the 'time travel', but the second book dives head first into using the technology proficiently.
