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).

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.

Accidentally read the second book thinking it was a stand alone. The story still held up so i made it half the book before i realized my mistake

It’s actually marketed as a standalone sequel, so you weren’t too far off. Plus I think the first one was more of an action thriller than about this invention. I actually don’t remember much from the first one. Most of what I remember is from the second one.
