Let's see the similarities:
Post apocalyptic? Check.
Essentially a Western? Check.
Lone survivor wandering the plains/roads? Check.
Said survivor looking for redemption? Check.
Whilst carrying/quoting from a Bible? Check.
Gunfights and bar-room brawls? Check.
Yes, there are differences - including a very big reveal at the end - but, all in all, there are a heck of a lot of similarities ...

Trip to Jerusalem ( Nicolas Bracewell book 3)
By Edward Marston
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
For Lord Westfield's Men, every high road leads to death. When the deathly horrors of the Black Plague decimate the audiences in London's theatres, the acclaimed troupe of players called Lord Westfield's Men take to the high road to seek out fresh audiences. But wherever they go, they are thwarted by misfortune, and are baffled by mysteries. Their scripts are stolen, their players abducted. A dead man walks, and a beautiful woman hears the voice of God. Only one man is clever enough to match swords with the troupe's burgeoning troubles. Upon Nicholas Bracewell, the company's bookholder and mainstay, falls the burden that may cost him his life - as they head for an ancient inn called the Trip to Jerusalem, where the last act of a bloody drama is about to begin.
Ok this is the 3rd book in the Nicolas Bracewell series and was not to bad. Another instalment of Nicolas saving the Westfield group while having a few stories in the background! I do like this series it’s fun read.
